Such an interesting film infuriates me at times because of the history they get wrong but it's such a clever subversive film there's so many aspects of it just a very great subtle comedy

I found it very disrespectful to World War Two veterans 
And the cultural stereotypes were a bit over the top

A lot of good actors in it. Donald Sutherland, don rickles, Archie bunker, and the captain from the love boat. Good movie

Was a WWII vet. If he was fine with it, you should be too.
A great movie.

Clint was disappointed in the way it was edited. I was always curious what movie was originally intended.

This.
It wasn't meant to be some historical account of WW II. I remember seeing Rickles on a late night show and he made the comment that he really liked the movie and what he did in it.

watched it yesterday on TCM
this is interesting
On 4 December 1968, Elliott Morgan, head of research for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, wrote to the Guinness Book of World Records requesting information on this entry: "The greatest robbery on record was of the German National Gold Reserves in Bavaria by a combine of U.S. military personnel and German civilians in 1945". On 10 December, the editor, Norris D. McWhirter, wrote back to Morgan, stating that he had very little information and that he essentially suspected that a cover-up had occurred, which required that the story should be subject to a "restricted classification".[citation needed] He closed by suggesting that until that security classification was changed, "due to death or eflux [sic] of time, "any film made will have to be an historical romance rather than history".[citation needed]

Not the best W.W. II film, nor is it one of Clint Eastwood's best, but still a decent movie with many memorable moments.
